First figuring out the cost about
With careful calculations.
The fevcrcaught and then they bought
A ton OF fishing tackle.
And squads and hooks, and gut and books
or feather flies called ''backle."
They met and walked and nothing talked
But fishing sports stupepdous,
And dreamed O nights OF getting bites
And catching whales tremendous
The longcd-for day came, and away
The anglers gaily started
With lots OF bait in Jugs ornate
And baskets that were carried.
"Good- bver they cried, with sportsmap's
PRIDE,
"Bc sure to come to meet US,
And have truck to cart our luck
For nothing can defeat u.s.
They reached the spot where fish lot
Were yesterday caught many"
And fishcd all day the usual way
BY catching-hardly any,
'Gainst tide they toiled and burned and boiled,
And bstercd and persprcd,
And when they found the solid ground
They almost there expired
When night was black the sports sueakcd back,

With al their banners flying,
While those who hear them wink and eer
Because they know they're lying.

AN OLD UNIVERSITY.


Principal Seat OF Learning.
The University of Pennsylvania bears
the distinction of being the only Amer
lea educational institution that was
ever stolen. A unique distinction. i'm
deed. 1t happened rather oddly, in
this way: The English nobility. hav-
ing contributed most of the funds
upon which the school was founded.
asked King George Ill to see to it that
not fall into the hands of any religious
sect. The King complied and sent
over word that, If any more money was
expected from England. guaranty
must be given that Dissenters, Quakers,
nor anybody else, should ever exclude
from it Church of England commune
cants, but that the school should
forever be for the general
good of all classes. The resolution
was passed and Franklin saw it safely
entered upon the records. Neverthe-
less, few years later the Legislature
of Pennsylvania, taking this resolution
as text, declared that the purposes OF
the institution had been narrowed. and
in order that such thing should not
occur again, they contiscated all the
titles and endowment funds given by
England. They named the school the
University of Pennsylvania. In this
way was the institution stolen and put
into its present governmental condi-
ton. Its important dates. therefore.
are: Founded by Franklin in l74S;
stolen by the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania in 1873; restored and set up in
present shape in 1891.
In internal structure the University
of Pennsylvania is nearer like the Eng
lish universities than any. other in this
country. 1t more nearly embodics the
university idea as represented by such
schools as Oxford, Cambridge, Berlin
and Strasburg. Its most famous de-
partment is the medical, which is the
oldest college of medicine in America.
Connected closely with it is the Biolog-
ical School, which is one Of the newest
departments, yet about the first school

of the Atlantic. 1t is school for the
study of both plant and animal life in
every form and is intended to supple
ment the studies of the medical man,
the scientist and the naturalist. Then
there is the Veterinary College, which
is fast revolutionizing the study of the
horse and his medical treatment; the
School in Dentistry, and the Wharton
School of Finance and Economy, in
which is the first and only chair in
American history in this country. In
all of the departments are about four
teen hundred pupils.
The social side of university life i:
almost wholly confined to the time
spent inside the college walls. This i:
quite unlike most other Eastern col
| leges, and is so chiefly because there
are no dormitories connected with thu
institution. The pupils lose themselve:

LITTLE JAKE sELIGMAN.
The Most Curious Character Among the
NIillionaires OF Michigan.

AhS Nhooe OuAiOuo OA"h"StVA <AAAAosAS 1AAo
NIillionaires OF Michigan.
A little bit of man not five feet
high, stood on tiptoe in front of CASH
Ter Kelcey's window at the West End
Hotel, and timidly asked for pair of
scissors. When they were handed to
him he pulled roll of National Bank
bills from his coat-pocket They were
in sheet form, just as postage stamps
come, and he clipped off a one hun
bred dollar bill. He wrote his name
across its face in the space reserved
for the presidents autograph, and then
cody asked Cashier Kelcey to change
it for him. Mr.. Kelley accommodated
this maker of currency after carefully
inspecting it and seeing that it was
bonafide note of a National bank in
Michigan. The little pan with this
enyiable power as money-maker was
Mr.. Jacob Seligman, who is
known through all Michigan as
Little Jake" He was the lead
ing clothing merchant of the
State until he became banker and
railroad financier, as well as one of the
biggest lumber merchants in that re-
gion. He is now millionaire, a direc-
tor in nine banks and four railroads,
and the owner Of considerable real es-
tate in the Sault Ste. Marie region.
Some people say he will be the richest
man in the State If he lives to realize
on his present investment. Yet he
went ont to Michigan twenty-five years
ago with only one hundred dollars in
his pockets. He made his fortune in a
strange way. In order to start in the
clothing business he obtained credit
for two hundred dollars worth OF
goods. He spent the one hundred dol
lars cash he had in hiring wagon, a
brass band, and four horses, and in
vesting in circulars and advertising.
He made it known that Little Jake
would reach town at a certain hour
and distribute socks and overalls
free from his wagon in the public
square. He told me that he emptied
his wagon-load to a throng Of people,
scattering over their head at the same
time perfect cloud Of dodgers stating
that he was going to sell them all sorts
Of clothing for the next month. For
fifteen years Little Jake followed this
quaint scheme for making himself
known. travelling from town to town
until he had store established in
every important city in the State. He
was not only the biggest clothing
dealer, but the biggest newspaper ad-
vertiser as well. STAGE then he has
made rapid strides towards becoming
the biggest banker, but he is still the
smallest man in the State in size. =
